Ongoing Responsibilities Under Jersey's Register Of Beneficial Ownership And Control

At midnight on 30 June 2017, the deadline passed for legal entities to file details of beneficial ownership and control to Jersey's Companies Registry. Under the revised rules, even if there had been no change to the relevant information since incorporation, legal entities were still required to file the relevant form before the deadline. The legal entities affected were companies, limited partnerships (including incorporated and separate limited partnerships), limited liability partnerships and foundations, although it is anticipated that the requirement to file in respect of foundations will not come into force until later in the year.  Fundamentally there was no requirement to file in respect of trusts, given that trusts are not legal entities.
